I Am For Gun Control

I feel what people are doing after the school shooting in Florida is a step in the right direction. When tragedies like this happen there should be protest for change. If anyone of us went through what these kids, teachers or anyone else who has survived these mass shootings or lost someone due to these tragedies went through, I think many of us would want policies to change too. Plus something is not right when we hear another story of a mass shooting each year, the lives lost and the people affected. I understand that there will be people who will always support guns for whatever reason, but when there has been so many mass shootings after Columbine in the U.S. from the same type of weapons used by the murderer(s) then it is time to discuss the problem and ways to fix that problem.

It's strange how Nikolas, over a 7 year period before the shooting was reported to the authorities 39 times for issues related to mental health, domestic and animal abuse and WANTING TO SHOOT UP A SCHOOL. But the FBI did nothing, too busy investigating the "russian collusion" and "islamophobia". It's also strange how there is a very high rate of gun ownership in Switzerland but no school shootings

@pianoplayingsteve It's funny how social services and the police visited Cruz multiple times and yet he was still able to legally purchase 10 guns, all of them rifles. I's funny how the governor of Florida has called for the resignation of the FBI director but his own departments had more than ample opportunity to see the signs and still did nothing. It's funny how Obama tried to introduce strict gun control legislation and the Republicans went bat shit crazy about it. It's funny how trump repealed Obama legislation that enabled agencies to share information for background checks and is now saying that he supports stricter background checks.

It's funny how other countries in the developed world don't have anywhere near the number of gun deaths that America has year after year after year.

@room101 Correct, it's a very complex issue and not for the children that turn it black and white with "ban all guns, disagree with me and you're a bigot, give me social brownie points!" At least that's what fake liberals in my country of the UK do.

@pianoplayingsteve If you live in the UK then you know that there is nothing fake about our gun laws and our overall attitude towards guns. You know that our police force is unarmed. You know that there have been three mass shootings in the last 40 years. You know that, after the Dunblane shooting in 1996, ALL hand guns were banned.

If you live in the UK then you know that all of the pro-gun bullshit spewed out by the gun fetishists is exactly that, BULLSHIT!
